How we build an ADU in Sacramento

Six steps from the first call to move-in.

Step by step

Free consultationWe talk through goals, budget and what you know about the lot.
Site visitWe measure, open the electrical panel, find the sewer route and photograph the yard.
Design and estimateA floor plan and a written, itemized construction price.
PermitOptional zoning review, then the building permit through the city's Citizen Portal.
ConstructionFoundation to finishes, with city inspections along the way.
Final and move-inFinal inspection, sign-off and a walk-through with you.

The city offers an optional, low-cost zoning review before the building permit. It is worth it on tight or unusual lots.

We schedule each city inspection as the work reaches it.

Send your address and a sentence about what you want. We look up the zoning, setbacks and utility routes and reply with the ADU types that fit.
